Right way to call wp.users().me()

After nearly two weeks of trying to get WP-API working for my simple project/use, I’ve landed here thanks to @kadamwhite. I’m running a simple JS app within a Wordpress page. I want to save data specific to the logged-in user to the database. Using WP-API is ideal for this in my case. I’m nearly there, finally! Except for that bloody infuriating authentication again. I’m accessing draft/private posts.

So, how exactly do I;

function getPosts() {
    //wp.users().auth("USER","PASS").me();
    wp.posts().users().me().context('edit').param('status', 'draft').then(function (posts) {
        console.log(posts);
    });
};

But make sure the current WP User is authenticated? wp.users().me() looks about right, but what is the correct method?

Thanks!

@wblaircox I’d check out register_rest_field to ensure those fields get included in the returned JSON. Hope that helps!

@wblaircox we’ve got a guide in progress that’ll help you out a lot, I’m slammed with day job rn but will try to get it online within the next day.
